Gold Coin with Ship Engraving Design

A beautifully detailed gold coin featuring an elaborate engraving of a large sailing ship navigating through what appears to be a polar landscape with mountains or ice formations. In the upper left, a portrait of a man in uniform is visible, identified by the inscription 'GEORGIY SEDOV' around the frame. The ship's name 'SEDOV' is also prominently displayed on a banner at the bottom, suggesting the coin commemorates the famous Russian Arctic explorer Georgiy Sedov and a vessel associated with his legacy, possibly the renowned barque STS Sedov. The artistry captures the essence of maritime exploration in challenging environments.
